Hi all,
at boot, my system shows "smartd is failed" what does mean? if it is a
problem how can I correct it? really, I don't know what is the purpose of
smartd. any clarification please,

Dear Kumara

If you type "man smartd" in the shell, it'll explain that smartd is a daemon that monitors the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) system built into many ATA-3 and later ATA, IDE and SCSI-3 hard drives.

If you're using SATA harddisk on your system, smartd will generate an error message as smartd does not work with SATA drives (yet).

You can prevent smartd from loading up by disabling it from Application->System Setting->Server Settings->Services.
